Let me start with a bit of a background...
A friend (and former neighbor) of mine was driving through a (what else? :p) drive "thru". Said drive "thru" is at an end of a strip mall and right next to another strip mall. She noticed a little cat figure across the lot and called to him. He came running! She brought him back here. She tried to introduce him in to her household but he was adamant about being outside (the room mate trapped him in their bedroom, without any supplies, and he sprayed) amongst other things.
We have posted ads on craigslist, fliers around the neighbourhoods, checked for a microchip (negative), etc etc. Nobody has shown up, called, or asked about him. We concluded that he was dumped. It's been nearly a year.
His name is Milo. He's a gorgeous little Siamese and has a wonderful personality. He used to only come around every couple of days and at night. Now, he is around all day, every day. He sometimes sleeps on the roof, or in a tree, or in the neighbours back yard. We feed him and give him fresh water daily (iced in the summer, of course! :D). We keep our back door (sliding glass) open but the screen shut. He loves to cuddle as close as possible to it and meet everyone through it.
We've been able to start dosing him with flea meds. He comes RUNNING if he hears us outside and loves to rub and weave through our legs. If you walk away, he will put his arms around a leg and let out a meow that really does sound like "NOOOO!". He gets love and pets all the time of course.
One of his favourite activities is to play with Spanky! :D She runs at him, he gets really low to the ground, she stops, and he chases her, repeat.
*The point of this whole rambling thread* :D Today, I went to check the mail. Milo decided to follow me to the box (one of the ones with a bunch of boxes) which is around the corner. He followed me back and RIGHT INTO THE HOUSE! :D He walked around for a bit and then walked right back outside.
We've decided that when we move we are going to take him with us. I would like to integrate him IN to the household. We really do love this sweet boy and I think he's home. :D
I'm adding some pics of him. :) We don't know of his age. Maybe 8 or 9? He seems to have some eye sight issues but we've got him listening to whistles and such.
